ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 23 Abstract
24 We report here the main characteristics of ‘ Arthrobacter saudimassiliensis ’ strain
25 11W110_air Τ (CSUR P1223), a new species of the Arthrobacter genus that was isolated from
26 air samples in the city environment of Makkah, Saudi Arabia, during the pilgrim period of
27 Hajj 2012.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 45 As a part of a wider culturomics [1] and metagenomics study [2] in Saudi Arabia we
46 isolated a new bacterium named strain 11W110_air Τ from two air samples in the urban
47 environment of Makkah, Saudi Arabia, during the pilgrim period of Hajj 2012. No
48 identification was obtained for the strain 11W110_air Τ using our systematic matrix-assisted
49 laser desorption–ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) screening
50 on a MicroFlex spectrometer (Bruker Daltonics, Bremen, Germany) [3]. The strain
51 11W110_air Τ was cultured in 5% sheep blood-enriched Columbia agar (bioMérieux, Marcy
52 l'Étoile, France) for 1 day in an aerobic atmosphere at 37°C. Growth was observed only in
53 aerobic conditions and no growth occurred in anaerobic ones. Colonies on Columbia agar
54 were opaque, round and of yellow color. Optimal growth for this strain was obtained at 37°C
55 at pH 7. The strain 11W110_air Τ is a Gram - positive bacterium, aerobic, motile, catalase
56 positive and oxidase negative.
57 The complete 16S rRNA gene was sequenced using fD1-rP2 primers as previously 58 described and a 3130-XL sequencer (Applied Bioscien MANUSCRIPTces, Saint Aubin, France) [4]. The 59 strain 11W110_air Τ exhibited a 97.4% sequence similarity with Arthrobacter luteolus
60 (NR025362) which was the phylogenetically closest species with standing nomenclature
61 (Figure 1). Consequently, it putatively classifies the strain 11W110_air Τ as a new member of
62 the genus Arthrobacter within the family Micrococcaceae in the phylum Actinobacteria . A.
63 luteolus was first described by Wauters et al . in 2000 as aerobic, gram-positive coryneform
64 bacteria isolated from an infected surgical wound [5]. So far, the genus Arthrobacter includes 65 more than 87 speciesACCEPTED with validly published names 66 (http://www.bacterio.cict.fr/c/arthrobacter.html).
67 Strain 11W110_air Τ exhibited a 16S rRNA gene sequence divergence >1.3% with A.
68 luteolus , the closest related species with standing in nomenclature , which classifies it as a
69 new representative of the Arthrobacter genus isolated from air samples in the urban
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 70 environment of Makkah. As a result, we propose the creation of ‘ Arthrobacter
71 saudimassiliensis ’ sp. nov., and the strain 11W110_air Τ as the type strain.
